Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 13-unit residential building at 4302 N Ashland in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Layana C Touloumis, has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past three years. Most concerning are the recent pest-related issues, with three documented fly dumping complaints (including one in November 2025) and one rat complaint in May 2026, suggesting ongoing sanitation challenges. The property has also faced multiple sanitation and waste management concerns, including a sanitation code violation in January 2026 and two yard waste pick-up requests in November 2025. Additionally, in September 2025, there was a request for a water lead test kit, which indicates the owner is taking steps to address potential water quality concerns, though the results of this testing are not documented in the available records. The building, constructed in 1925, has had a total of nine service requests logged through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the majority of recent incidents occurring in 2025-2026, highlighting a concentrated period of maintenance and sanitation challenges.

Risk rating

How 4302 N Ashland Chicago's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
25thpercentile

Out of 3452 buildings in this neighborhood, 2589 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
